After numerous request your
author has been asked to write
a different column, not only tell
ing a few humerous jokes, but a
few facts about the students such
as who was with who, when, and
what happened where.
Before we get down to the facts
on figures, I heard what was possi
bly the last Hadacol joke. It seems
that at last the Hadacol folks lost
a patient. She was ninety-eight
years old when she died, but her
baby lived.
This next story is supposed to
be true. Jackie Wall was talking
to Jake McKeown over in Found
ers Hall the other day and Jake
was telling her how when he was
thumbing back to North Carolina
a man picked him up and "You
know," he said, "that man was so
drunk he was blind." Jackie In
quisitively asked, "Jake, weren't
you scared riding with a blind
man?" Yak, Yak. I bet that story
went over like a lead baloon.
Mary Crabtree informed us
that she was very discouraged be
cause she had lost all of her boy
friends and that all she had to do
for recreation was to sit in Mary
Hobbs Parlor every night and
twirl her car keys. Now boys, here
is our chance because Mary Crab
tree is just as cute as she can be,
and the thing about it she hasn't
got a four wheel personality, only
a verv good personality.
Jackie Goodwin states that she
was pinned for the weekend to a
Sigma Nu from Carolina, but as

French Play
By Dramatics Council
Guilford College students were
favored with seeing a revival of
one of the greatest French come
dies — Les Precieuses Ridicules
(The Affected Misses) by Moliere
—early in January when Horace
McManus directed the production
in connection with an English 21
project. Judging by the spontan
eous laughter and applause which
greeted the performance, a twent
ieth-century audience was en
chanted by this seventeenth
century comedy of society life by
the great French "contemplateur."
Translated into English, the play
is centered around Madelon and
Cathos, two affected misses who
ridiculously aspire to be ladies of
culture. Brought up by their plain
and middle-class Uncle Gorgibus.
the girls refuse the suitors that
that worthy gentleman has chosen
for them—Du Croisy and La
Grange—because they thihk them
far below them in the social
graces. The two rejected suitors,
wishing to teach the silly girls
a lesson, cinspire to send their
valets Mascarille and Jodelet to
pay court to the girls in the guise
of "beaux galants." The girls are
Honor Roll

percent of the student body,
achieved Honor Roll standing dur
ing the past semester. The 12 sen
iors, 14 juniors, 9 sophomores, and
7 freshmen include 11 students
who have 3.00 averages and 3 with
2.93 or higher. The students who
made 3.00 are Sam Baker. Julian
Culton, Fred Katz, Bruce Morton,

Zoe Campbell, Bob Dough, Glenna
Fulk, Elsa Neitzke, Karl Rein

far as now, we'll, that's a sweater
of a different color.
That Golden Throated Trush
Betty Thorbin and that Golden
Haired Boy Larry Welch have not
been geting along too well, so
that leaves seventy-four million
boys for Betty to choose from in
the United States, and seventy
eight million girls for Larry to
choose from, so both are bound
to make out all right in the future.
Mary Colie has a secret romance.
The only information she will give
out that she calls him Mr. X, and
that he is a man.
Marty Burton recently went to
a big hop down at Carolina with
Vernon Zimmerman. It looks like
all of our girls are stepping out
and going to foreign places with
foreign boys as if there wasn't
enough recreation and social life
at Guilford College.
Jennie Smith looked as if she
was walkin on air when a certain
young Friend was up here, and it

delighted with these "distinguish
ed noblemen;" but when the game
has gone far enough, the masters
enter and lay bare the trick, strip
ping the astonished valets of their
borrowed finery.
In the Guilford College per
formance Frances Petty and Ann
Newton delivered a sprightly in
terpretation of Madelon and Ca
thos respectively. Hugh Downing
was convincing as the parsimon
ious Corgibus. The roles of Du
Croisy and La Grange were force
fully impersonated by ay Chalk
ley and Bob Achor. Ray Horace
McManus brought down the house
with his hilarious characterization
of Mascarille and was ably assist
ed in his deception by Richard
Staley in the role of Jodelet. A
strong supporting cast consisted
of Hassell Brown, Jim Pratt, Ed
Finch, Bill Hardee, and Watson
Motley.
Sympathy
The Guilfordian staff wish
es to express its deepest
sympathy to the family of Mr.
Warren McCulloch. "Mr.
Mac," who has been our
printer for many years, passed
away January 31.
Young Friends Make
Plans for Annual
Conference
The Young • Friends Organiza
tion held their regular supper
meeting last Thursday night in
the hut, with the Presiding Clerk,
Jennie Smith, ih ctiarge of the
business session. Plans for the
annual Mid-Year Conference of
Young Friends were brought be
fore the group. Different Com
mittee chairmen were appointed.
Jean Walton, Banquet Ch., Burt
Lindsy and Elton Warrick, Hos
pitality ch., and Bill Hatly, Pub
licity Ch. These committees are
to work jointly with the executive
committee. During the recreation
period all those present joined
in a hearty laughter as different
members of the group gave im
personations of faculty members.
Especially entertaining was the
impersonation of Dr. Vicky by
Jimmy Lomax. To climax the eve
ning's activities Harold Jernigan,
a ministerial student, gave a
short devotional talk with the
general theme "The Role of a
Quaker in a Quaker College."
Dance Held
The Social Committee's Dance
(for George Washington's birth
day) was held on Saturday eve
ning, February 23. Buddy Klein
and his orchestra supplied the
music, and Betty Thorburn was a
featured vocalist. The dance was
fine except for a big stink. Some
people stoop pretty low.
Dramatic Council News
For its spring play, the Dramatic
Council has chosen The Torch-
Bearers, a satire on the American
little theater. Miss Mildred Mar
lette, Dean of Women, will direct
the production. Bill Utley will be
technical director, Joyce Taylor,
stage manager. Miss Marlette will
be assisted by Horace McManus.
Sfaley Announces
Final Plans
Climaxing four weeks of intens
ive investigation, the Junior Class
met last Wednesday and voted to
hold the Junior-Senior Banquet in
the college gymnasium Saturday,
April 19. Although this plan is a
somewhat radical departure from
established precedent, a number
of factors favored the decision
reached by the class. In view of
financial considerations and the
difficulty of finding a suitable
place in town, a planning commit
tee composed of Richard Staley,
Marilyn Linhart, Betsy Bingham,
"Yo Yo" Yates, and Bob Ralls,
after serious and prolonged study,
recommended the plan to the
Juniors.
In the course of the meeting a
theme was selected and commit
tees appointed. Dinner will be
served at 6:30 p.m. and will be
followed by a dance. A decoration
committee headed by Joyce Tay
lor and Sam Shugart promises to
create an atmosphere calculated
to please the most discerning.
Richard Staley, as chairman o the
food committee, is planning a
menu to scintillate the appetites
of connoisseurs. Jo Cameron is in
charge of the program, at which
Dr. Gordon W. Lovejoy will be
the principal speaker. Designing of
program covers is under the di
rection of Mae Nicholson. Nut cups
are being constructed under the
supervision of Charlotte Manzella.
The invitation committee is head
ed by Betsy White. Bill Smedley,
with two years' experience as a
florist, will provide table decora
tions. The dance Is being planned
by Marty Hoopes, and Leon Jonas
will clcan-up. Charlie Hendricks
has graciously consented to serve
as maitre d'hotel.
Invitations will be sent out
within the next two weeks to both
Juniors and Seniors. All those in
vited are urged to attend. Indeed,
the class is planning the banquet
on campus to facilitate a better
representation of students. The
prime purpose of the banquet is
conceived as providing one of the
few opportunities for the Juniors
and Seniors to get together. Be
cause of the amount of detail
involved, all responses to invita
tions must be on hand by March
22. Later responses cannot be
accepted.
With the aim of supplementing
the budget alloted by the Student
Affairs Board for the banquet, the
class laid plans for a student-fac
ulty basketball game to be held
Friday night, March 14. Howard
Coble heads the planning commit
tee for the game. ,
At the same meeting officers for
the next year were nominated. An
overwhelming majority favored
"Yo Yo" Yates to remain as presi
dent. Nominees for the position
of vice-president are Bill Smed
ley, Sam Shugart, and Jim Mor
phis. Richard Staley was nomi
nated to be secretary; and Leon
Jonas, Glenna Fulk, and Betty
Venable were selected to be
placed on the ballot for treasurer.
Sfaley Ineligible
What is the world coming to?
Anyone glancing over the new list
of ineligible students will find
that Richard Lee Staley, junior
of Liberty, North Carolina, has
been included. It seems that Sta
ley, who has a 3.00 average for his
two and a half years at Guilford,
forgot to get his matriculation card
signed.
How stupid can regulations get?
